The only consequence of Anna dieing is that the village will most likely get destroyed the turn after she falls. All the village gives you is a psychic staff though. Which, while nice, isn't something you need to worry about missing.

Tae posted:The difficulty of FE comes from keeping all your characters alive, it's a very easy series if you treat it X-com style where they are expendable for the greater good. It can go both ways though. Its easy if you don't care about some random idiot you weren't gonna use bites the dust, but having your all star unit die to a 1% crit from a reinforcement that just spawned would be infuriating. If you went into the game blind playing that way would probably be harder in the long run since you could easily lose a lot of guys and be forced to use poo poo units.

When I got Nino my first thought was "you want me to use a level loving 5 unit here?!?". To me it made no sense that they would hand you such a weak unit so close to the end of the game and expect anyone to actually use it. And it still kind of doesn't. Why waste time raising a weak unit when my army has been working fine up until that point? I spent enough time babying weak units in the early game. VVV My incentive to use Erk was that I'd been using Erk for the whole game and been doing just fine with him. I'm inclined to stick with a unit just because they have been on my team a long time, even if a statistically better unit comes along late in the game. I just don't like ditching people when I spent so much time on them. That's just me though. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Jan 17, 2014 |

I think a better way to gauge unit worth isn't to ask how godlike they become, but rather how much they can suck. Erk might be statistically worse than the other mages but it isn't by a wide margin. He won't be the best but he's probably not going to be awful, so using him is fine. Unless a unit has totally abominable growths then I'm willing to use them. So I could just use Erk and get a decent mage or I could go through the annoyance of babying Nino to get a slightly better one I get to use for a handful of missions rather than a huge chunk of the game. I'll stick with Erk since I hate protecting weak units. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Jan 17, 2014 |

Endorph posted:EDIT: Speaking of, to the guy above, letting Miriel die means that you can't get her kid this run, if that bothers you. Yes, it truly is a tragedy to miss out on the kid so boring I can't even remember him name. On your first playthrough you're probably not going to recruit most of the kids since you have to grind out supports to get all of them available. Finding them all is something I didn't do until my second playthrough, and I would think that is how it went for most people.

Boneless Jogger posted:I dunno, after seeing the S rank support between him and Noire I'm not sure I can call him one of the sanest characters. I don't mean this in a bad way though, it was kinda hilarious. That's his only good support because he does something other than play the straight man in the most dull manner imaginable. He's the only character I find utterly boring to use. The closest I came to having fun with him was making him into a Berserker so he was a muscle mage  Zore posted:Laurent has some pretty great supports honestly. He's also, by far, the sanest and least issue-ridden person in the second generation and comes close for the entire army. Being sane doesn't mean you have to be boring though. Frederick is sane, Chrom is sane, but Laurent is just dull. Also I'd think someone that doesn't do multiple playthroughs isn't the kind of person to obsess over missing out on a single character.

Yeah Frederick has ridiculous OCD but I'd say he's pretty sane overall. He still has eccentricities that make him interesting though, which is why I like him even though he usually acts as the calm and collected voice of reason. Laurent is basically always completely serious and organized, so he just comes across as dull.Manatee Cannon posted:I'd have liked more unique parent or sibling conversations, personally. Morgan and Lucina are especially bad about that. Also more for the spotpass characters! Yeah I get why the sibling conversations were basically all the same but they could of been really interesting. I mean when Morgan is a Manakette you'd expect the dialogue to be pretty different but its more or less the same. Plus Yarne freaking out about being the last member of his species is extra dumb when his sister is standing right next to him.

Artificer posted:Honestly at this point with 90% of my primary team coupled up already while also being quite overleveled for their missions, I wish there was an easier and simpler way of pairing up characters. I want to see all of the supports without having to spend hours with reeking boxes in underleveled areas dammit. I paired a lot of my main team with people that would make sense with each other (Riken - Lissa, for instance) but sometimes I just want to see what happens when I pair Riken with, say, Tharja. I wish there was a way to see the supports for those too. The grinding DLC is really good for supports since it lets you easily build up supports without messing with levels, assuming the person you're trying to support isn't part of your main team. It is annoying that there isn't really a good way to do it ingame though. The friendship seed thins being more common could of helped. What you really don't have any way to easily see ingame are the unique conversations for parents and their kids in the Future Past DLC, which sucks since a lot of those are really neat. Also Ricken/Tharja basically goes like this;  "Hey lets cast magic together!" "No, lets cast EVIL magic together!" "uhhhh okay!"

Austrian mook posted:Instead of having the same "too much anime" whining we've all hear a hundred times before let's instead discuss the new release and possible new features and directions for this new game to go to in light of this new footage and brief glimpse we have at the new game. There's not really much to talk about other than the aesthetic though. I mean, the only potential gameplay element we saw is that pairups might not be a thing anymore. Dual guards/attacks were in the trailer but you can get those in Awakening just by having units stand next to each other.

How can you not like reclassing? It lets you have so much more fun with your army. I can make everyone into generals. I can have a legion of pegasus knights. I can do whatever my heart pleases and force my soldiers to bend to my will. Taking that out would be incredibly lame. OneDeadman posted:where's the anime tiny girl that's actually 100 years old.

I doubt they're going to do the kid thing again but I hope they have missions you don't have to do in a set order. One of the things I like about Awakening is that you can do most of the kid missions whenever you want so you don't have to progress through the game in the exact same way each time.

Excluding DLC, most characters in Awakening have a bunch of supports. The only ones that don't that I remember are Say'ri, Tiki, and Anna. Anna is the only one I really care about there since more supports involving her would be funny.

Shaman Ooglaboogla posted:With 70 characters they still only have one dark magic user and he's poo poo. I don't get why dark magic was always so hard to get in the past games. In the ones I played before Awakening you usually only got one dark mage and they were usually hidden too. Its like they're taunting you by putting dark mages all over the enemy side and saying "yeah I bet you wish you could use this cool magic more don't you". Awakening seemed to change that for the better though.

I like pair up, but getting like +7 to +9 to all your stats by the end of the game just makes it kinda unfair. Hopefully there will also be some incentive to not have your entire army paired up all the time. In Awakening half the team just ends up latching onto their partner like a lamprey.

Part of me wonders just how much easier the Hoshido campaign will be, and if as a result I can actually play the game on lunatic without it sucking all the fun out. Or maybe if you pick lunatic they'll just crank up the difficulty a huge amount regardless of it being the "easy" game.

Francis posted:So, I thought about this too and games like Tactics Ogre (Vyce) and Bravely Default have done this and it always really feels forced and manipulative. You could pull it off with a character or two but not a quarter of the cast. I highly doubt you will slaughter your entire family in either story, but I would not be surprised if you chop through random recruits. For many of the plot important characters on the opposing side, they will probably just surrender or something.
